Obama and Israel Analysis: The Audience War: US Rhetoric and the Iranian Nuclear Programme 29 Mar 2012 by Andrea Berger
Obama's declaratory policy on Iran involves a fine balancing act that is designed for multiple audiences: a recalcitrant Iranian regime, a domestic population about to go to the polls, and a jittery Middle Eastern region led by Israel.

WHR 1-12 cover News: Libya: Not a model for future intervention 19 Mar 2012
The 2011 Libyan operation cannot be a widely applicable model for future intervention, regardless of the military success of the campaign that helped rebels depose Qadhafi at little civilian cost.
